Our Story

A risk, a prayer, and a chapel that chose us back.

This chapter in our story began when my husband and I and our three boys took the biggest risk of our lives. We put our house on the market and prayed to let God take control of this journey. Our house sold and we purchased this beautiful historic chapel from 1908.

I would be lying if I said this was an easy purchase. I never imagined the trials we would soon endure. These stories can be for another time. At the end of the day, we know there is a purpose for us here along with so much love and history.

We are just so excited to be able to share this place with you. You help write the next chapters in this story.

Kind Words

Loved by those who’ve celebrated here.

The Château is my go-to venue & studio rental. Nothing in the area compares to it. Heather has transformed this place and has done a wonderful job renovating and paying attention to every detail. All of my clients have been overjoyed using this space for their sessions. It's exceeded every expectation I have. If you are looking for a space to host an event, get ready for a wedding, or a beautiful studio space with endless options, this is your spot!

The Château is a space that resonates with classic elegance. Tastefully and delightfully remodeled, the venue is a breathtaking backdrop for all kinds of events! I had the pleasure of my baby shower being hosted at the Château, and Heather was so kind and helpful. The space provided the perfect canvas and had excellent flow for the event. I have also attended other events there, and while set up differently than mine, they were equally enjoyable, showcasing the flexibility of the space for all kinds of events. I look forward to hosting future events at the Château.
